Glentham is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. It lies on the A631, 6 miles (9.7 km) west from Market Rasen, and 2 miles (3.2 km) east from Caenby Corner and the A15. The village includes the hamlet of Caenby. The 2001 census recorded a population of 341.[1]

Glentham Grade I listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul.[2] Originating in the 13th century, it has had additions and changes up to the 20th. It is mainly Perpendicular in style.[3] Pevsner dates the tower from 1756, and a stained glass window by Christopher Whall from 1915.[4] In the chancel and the north aisle are monuments and brasses to the Tourney family of Cavenby. Set within a niche over the south porch is an image of Pieta holding the dead Christ. At the west of the church is a mutilated 14th century brass effigy of a female;[3] previously known as "Molly Grime", it was, up to 1832, washed every Good Friday by seven old maids.[5]

In 1885 Kelly's recorded both a Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist chapel, and a nearby barrow.[6] At that time much land in the area was given over to pasture, while main crops grown were wheat, barley and beans.[7]

The ecclesiastical parish is part of the Owmby group of parishes.[8]

Glentham has a public house, The Crown Inn, a post office, shop, and village hall.

The village gave its name to a Ham class minesweeper, HMS Glentham.[9]
